<h1>Group</h1>
Groups are used for assigning the same set of roles to a group of
users. A group can contain any number of users and each user inherits
all permissions from any group that he belongs to. The purpose of
having groups as well as users is that it will reduce the amount of
work involved in setting up permission. Most permissions may be
allocated using groups and group access, but where necessary, the user
access can be used for more fine grain control.<br>
<h2>Creating Groups</h2>
Navigate the tree to /Root/System Configuration/Setup Groups. If
you have permission to create groups then the "Create New Group" button
on the toolbar will be enabled. Pressing it will
bring up a new panel for creating a group. Enter the
appropriate information and press OK to create the group or
Cancel to discard it with no action taken. If the group is
created, it will be initialised with a change log recording the initial
details.<br>
<h2>Editing Groups</h2>
If you have permission to edit the group then the Edit button
will be enabled. Pressing it makes each of the available parts
editable. The users that belong to the group are selected using a pair
of lists. On the left is a list of available users. On the right is the
list of users assigned to the group. Users may be moved between the two
groups using the &lt;&lt; and &gt;&gt; buttons.<br>
